From Manga of the Floating World, by Adam L. Kern. Manga! Manga! The Semester: Spring 2019 Japanese Popular Media and Culture Instructor/Title Mark Hollstein, Ph.D./Associate Professor Course Description: This course examines Japanese history, society and culture through the lens of popular media. It focuses primarily on manga, anime, and television drama. However, a variety of other media—such as pop music, theatre and live-action film—will be discussed as they relate to these three main media. The course will begin with a look at the historical development of comic art in the Edo and Meiji periods, with primary attention paid to how the confluence of traditional Japanese art and Western techniques and style helped shape today’s popular media. Next, we will examine the uses of manga and anime in the wartime and postwar periods by focusing on their development from propaganda to works of mature social criticism. Of particular interest will be how these works both reflect and shape the debate over Japan’s postwar identity. We will then examine the means of production, distribution and consumption of manga and anime in Japan and the relationship between popular art and high art in Japan. Our attention will then turn to television dramas in Japan. We will examine their relationship with manga and anime while discussing how they deal with and influence a variety of current social issues including treatment of the physically handicapped, the death penalty and LGBT rights. The course will finish with a look at the popularity and uses of popular media abroad and how they are influencing foreign understandings and attitudes about Japan. Section 2 Course Objectives: This course will enable students to go beyond the entertainment value of Japanese popular media to discover their social and historical significance. Upon completion of this course, students should also be able to explain the major ideological and ontological debates that have shaped Japan’s postwar society, and discuss some of the relevant social issues facing Japan today.

  • Introduction
    Introduction The Ohio Japan Project began in the mid-1980’s when Ohio agreed to join with Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin to form The Great Lakes in the Schools Project, funded by the U.S.-Japan Foundation. The members of the project from Ohio developed a series of lessons on Japan. During a trip to Japan in 1988, the Ohio team discussed these lessons with educators in Japan and had them formally critiqued by the International Society for Educational Information, Inc. in Tokyo. The society published a version of the lessons in Japan, while in Ohio they were published as Learning About Our World: Japan. Again with funding form the U.S.-Japan Foundation, the Ohio Japan Project sent a delegation of teachers in Ohio to Japan for two weeks in June-July, 2001. While there, the teachers gathered information to update the lessons previously published and to develop new ones, which reflect more current developments in Japan. Before and during the trip to Japan, the participants spent a great deal of time studying how the Japanese develop lessons that enhance deeper understanding by the students of the concepts to be taught. These lessons reflect the way Japanese teachers construct their lessons to accomplish that deeper level of knowledge and skill development. In this way, students retain the information for a longer period of time, which will help them be more successful on the future state achievement tests and the Ohio Graduation Test. The original publication of lessons identified the connections to the social studies and foreign languages curriculum models.

  • Of Maus and Gen: Author Avatars in Nonfiction Comics
    267 Of Maus and Gen: Author Avatars in Nonfiction Comics Moritz Fink In many ways, Art Spiegelman's Mausand Keiji Nakazawa's Barefoot Gen appear to be literary siblings. While of different national as weil as cultural origins, both works have their roots in the 1970s; both redefined the notion of comics by demonstrating the medium's compatibility with such serious subjects as world history and historical trauma; and both provided autobiographical accounts by featuring their authors on the page. And yet, the two canonic texts could not be more different in their stylistic approaches. Not only with regard to the cultural traditionsout ofwhich Maus (American comics) and Gen (Japanese manga) grew, but also in terms of how the artists depict themselves and what functions their avatars have within the respective work. Spiegelman brings hirnselfexplicitly to the fore in a highly self-reftexive fashion, following the autobiographical tradition ofU.S. independent comics. Nakazawa, by contrast, rather withdraws hirnself by replacing his original stand-in from the earlier work I Saw It, "Keiji," with the heroic kid Gen. This essay investigates instances where authors of nonfiction comics insert themselves into their works via avatar characters -- a narrative device that corresponds to the traditionally foregrounded roJe of the creator-artist in the comics medium. In tracing the evolution of author representations in nonfiction comics, I will create links to Bill Nichols's classification ofvarious modes ofdocumentary film. While there have been efforts to transfer Nichols 's concept to comics (Adams, 2008; Lefevre, 2013), none ofthem has focused specifically on the aspect of the author avatar in this context.

  • Manga and the Graphic Novel, According to a List of Key Discursive Characteristics
    The Influence of Manga on the Graphic Novel Simon Grennan There is a noticeable, though imperfect, historic parallel between the increase in the readership of Anglophone manga since the early 1990s and the maturation of concepts of the graphic novel, as an “Anglophone” comics genre, since the 1980s. According to a number of approaches, this historic parallel offers opportunities to scrutinize relationships between the development of the two genres (Couch 2010, Hatfield 2005).In particular, this parallel offers the opportunity to historicize descriptions of the complex ways in which these emerging relationships revised diverse practices of visioning, producing and reading comics, in order either to entrench or transform specific markets and cultures, precipitating new types of product and creating new types of reading experience. This chapter will summarize distinctions between the traditions of manga and the graphic novel, according to a list of key discursive characteristics. It will focus on a number of case studies that exemplify some foundational activities for the genre of the graphic novel beween1980 and 2000. According to Laurence Venuti’s descriptions of “foreignization” and “domestication,” it will discuss ways in which manga practices have been adopted and transformed by Anglophone markets and readers, relative to the maturation of the graphic novel. Specifically, the chapter will consider foreignization strategies in Miller’s Ronin, Anglophone translations of Koike and Kojima’s Kozure Ōkami (Lone Wolf and Cub), Nakazawa’s Hadoshi no Gen (Barefoot Gen) and in Spiegelman’s Maus, touching upon the significance of experiences of Anglophone anime for the adoption of manga practices by the graphic novel in the same period.
